## Abstract

An electronic device package includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a conductive layer. The first substrate includes a first bonding pad, and a cavity exposing the first bonding pad. The second substrate is laminated on the first substrate. The second substrate includes a second bonding pad at least partially inserting into the cavity of the first substrate. The conductive layer is disposed in the cavity and at least between the first bonding pad and the second bonding pad to connect the first bonding pad and the second bonding pad.
